  I love San Francisco and all, but sometimes you guys just try _way_ too hard to be weird.

  They're so good at it now, they hardly have to try at all...

  ALSO, Critical Mass riders are NOT anarchists. At all. Unless you consider bike lanes to be "anarchy."

  SF critical massers have something of a bad rep: they've been damaging buses and scaring the crap out of families in cars, so the last few CM meets have been kinda ugly. But really, CM is such a mish-mash of different groups that they're sort of anarchists by default, since the only thing they can agree on is that riding around the city in a big group is kinda cool.

  Fair enough. I should have known the SF CM would have been hijacked by nutters. The one in NY is pretty tame, largely because the NYPD goes all Rodney King on the riders from time to time.
